The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro specifications reveal a premium watch
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro comes in a single case size, its case has a 45mm diameter. So, it’s larger than the Galaxy Watch 5 units which are available in 40mm and 44mm iterations. That’s not the only difference, though. The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro utilizes a titanium body, and also a larger battery.
The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro features a round, 1.4-inch Super AMOLED display. That panel has a resolution of 450 x 450. That is a sapphire glass display, by the way, so it has very good protection.

The Galaxy Watch 5 Pro includes a lot of sensors. The Samsung BioActive Sensor (Optical Heart Rate + Electrical Heart Signal + Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) is included, as is a Temperature Sensor. All the other sensors you’d expect on a smartwatch are also a part of the package.
